Good Enough Parents Are Good Enough

All you need to do as a parent, to raise a good child, is be "good enough". Being an average parent will have your child develop the same as being a super parent. You do not need to go out of your way to raise your child.

Your child has genetic programming that says whether or not they will be intellectual, athletic, social, fearful, etc. Even if these genetic programmings can be influenced by the parent, the child has many more influences besides the parent. Such as: schools, teachers, friends, and other aspects of society. Children learn most of their social skill outside of the home, which means parents do not play the largest role in a child's actions.

A parent will never admit they are just average because parents' strive to make the best for their children. Since most parents think this way, it is the "average" way of thinking. This would mean that raising your kid in an "average" home, compared to a "super parent" home, would be no different. I believe as long as the child sees that their parents are trying to get them the best then all children picture their parents as "super parents". So I do agree with evidence that shows average homes will raise the same children as super parent homes.
